Recent increased battery drain - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else been experiencing increased battery drain this past week? No matter what rom i have installed, apps or how often i wipe the battery stats the battery drain doesnt slow. I have watchdog going for the past couple of days to try and track the problem but its not showing any runaway programs.

Maybe try a new battery.

I have, or in the sense that something likes to keep my CPU awake for long stretches when the phone is idle. Noticed it during the sale but haven't been able to find what it is, as I don't have many apps added to my phone (most goes on my tabbook). Excluding application updates the only thing left I can figure to do, is switch back to Zeam from ADWLauncher Ex.

Yeah, on stock, ADW really drained my battery. It works best on CM7 or rooted. Sorry.

Could be a couple things, maybe try a different radio or maybe another battery? Or maybe set a screen-off profile in setcpu 368 min/max conservative? What voltage is your battery at full charge? Mines usually around 4207mV

Has the same problem, even in airplane mode...saw this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390405
a couple days ago and followed the 2nd to last post and battery life has been great again...

Not sure what eqjunkie829 has but I'm on CM 7.1.0 and don't have the Amazonlet running. Initially I thought it might be dry commo from Swiftkey X (I usually have mobile data switched off and wifi on when desired). What apps are useful for accounting? I.e. more precisely seeing who used what than the battery thing in settings.

more than usual? no never

turn your display brightness down, turn off gps. they usually drain your battery. have you tried using juice defender? paired with the ics 5.1 beta, i get great battery life. 9 hours in and my battery was still at 60%.

What is up with the battery life on 2.3.3?

After replacing the battery with a 1600 mah Seidio battery. I still get bad results. For example, during lunch today my phone was at 50% in my locker. After 4 hours, I was at 21%. My Sync, GPS, BT and Wifi are all OFF.
How is this possible?
I use to own a Nexus One and in 4 hours it would go down 2% with CM6. Is Gingerbread an issue here or does my phone need RMA repair?
2.3.3 gives me better battery than 2.1 or 2.2

superaosp from [email protected] stock kernel or redstars depends but cm7 and stock OTA gave me better battery than 2.2/2.1
I'm running stock 2.3.3 and battery life is by far the best over various android versions.
2.3.3 has some weird bug where every once in a while the system gets into a weird drain state like it doesnt go into deep sleep correctly. i just got hit with this last night. it does happen all the time, most of the time on 2.3.3 battery life is excellent. i will lose 6% over 8 hours. but when that awake bug DOES kick in, battery drops like yours did.
you just have to reboot and check it again, the bug likely will clear itself and you wont see it again, for a while.

My N1 on 2.3.3 goes completely dead after 12hrs. I found the solution when doing a Google search. It's to go to Wifi Settings, Advanced, Wi-Fi sleep policy, and change it to Never. You'd think that would reduce battery life, but for some reason now my phone's battery life is very significantly improved. Now it's only down to about 30% after 19hrs when I put it on the charger.
It appears that 2.3.4 will address battery issues in Gingerbread.

I dont think its Gingerbread, ive used both stock and CM7 on my N1 and i was having good bat life on N1 stock gingerbread about 5-6 hours with heavy use, and with CM7 official rom i get 7-8 hours heavy use and up to 19 hours on days i barely use the phone, and on standby i can confirm 8 hours (while im asleep) it drains 6% by the time i wake up of course i do have it personalized and settings applied for bat savings.
I haven't encountered this bug with CM 7.0.3 (based on 2.3.3) but I found it very useful to let the phone just drain the battery completely once in a while (once in a few weeks) and than fully charge it.
After doing that, I can go through two days with regular usage of the device
I'm on CM 7.0.3, 2.3.3 and I'm only getting 13-15 hrs if I'm lucky. Wifi and bluetooth are off only syncing gmail and google contacts. I barely even touch my phone at work for 8 hrs and the battery life sucks.
Another weird thing is that once it gets to 15% left it just automatically dies and shuts down...very frustrating, I'm on the latest pershoot kernel too, the phone was given to me for free last month and it was originally purchased in Feb '10 so I just figure the battery is old and worn out.

No. Your battery is not aged, it just needs re-calibration.
One simple way is to re-calibrate your battery is to charge it when the phone is off or charge using a desktop charher, and you have to over-charge a bit - just leave the battery connecting to power source for an additional 1 hour or more, when the charging process has been completed.
This works every time for me.
Keep in mind that from time to time the battery may need to be re-calibrated again for peak performance.

Battery Life Horrible

this just started starting recently.
battery drops 5% under 1 min without even use of the phone. on standby.
im on royal panache.
ran battery dry than charged it back to 100% and did battery calibration. still horrible!!
any suggestions?
Check battery usage under settings see what's using it up. also check your CPU settings. Although I've had that kind of battery drain. Sense just hands down has terrible battery life. Go AOSP.

Check the CPU usage, find the rogue app.
I'm easily running over 24 hours with my customized Panache ROM.
Clearly, whoever thinks Sense isn't good on battery, never tried one properly.

Whats a rogue app? And how do you get over 24 hours on battery life?
yeah Sense does drain the battery, but the UI is just awesome IMO. I get roughly 19hrs on a full charge with moderate usage(deleted bloatware, setcpu profiles) whereas on AOSP I would get 25+hrs on a full charge with same usage. really, the 'display' is the battery killer on sense. try to lower your backlight brightness, no window animations, and lower the screen timeout to see if that helps you

An app written badly enough to cause CPU to hang in 100% (sometimes it hangs the system, and then the system shows 100% CPU constant usage).
Happened sometimes to me on Nexus. Sometimes can also be caused by restoring system data from backup, if the system data isn't fully compatible.
When I almost don't use the phone - I can probably get past 40 hours of uptime before needing recharge, since the idle drain is somewhere between 1%-2% an hour for me. When I use it heavily (GPS) - I expect it to drain the hell out of battery after 6-7 hours of continued use, and no build would do better, Sense or no Sense. When tethering - it can last towards 10 hours (tethering drain is ~10-12% per hour too). My usage is light, I'm always on auto-brightness, I'm not overclocking, so generally I get the phone to recharge in the evening with half the charge still there - unless I tether for a couple of hours during the day and have several long calls, and in that case I'm charging it 18 hours later with ~20% left.
Ah, and I use customized Royal Panache.

Battery issues on 2.3

Im noticing my battery is draining faster than when I had froyo anyone else noticing this.its very disappointing .im using it just how I used it on froyo and it barely last through half the day. And should I use a task killer, droid life said it would save me more battery if I didn't use one

You might want to recalibrate your battery. I am getting much better life on gingerbread. Definitely do not use a task killer. Android is designed to keep the programs you use most in memory and drop the ones that aren't. Even the ones on memory won't be using much power.

We just updated my wife's DX to the Gingerbread OTA this morning. (We are running stock)
My wife showed me that her battery was down to about 40% today, when normally she is around 70% by the end of the day.
I don't have CWM on her phone (if I should be resetting data as mentioned above).
Is her battery draining faster, or is it just a battery recalibration issue?
If we need to recalibrate, what should we do without CWM?
Thanks ...

The battery is likely draining faster. It's an issue discussed by many others. I have questionable battery issues following the upgrade. My usage patterns haven't changed, but my battery life seems slightly worse. Moto is aware and hopefully will fix relatively soon.

Yes, and so far the suggestions revolve around disabling any sort of syncing/polling apps, turning down screen brightness, turning off 3G radio and living life with only WiFi, doing a factory reset, and a few others. Some believe it's a 3G signal issue and the radio bumping the power to compensate. I'm betting on this as the phone does get quite a bit warmer when using the 3G radio. Realistically, the only real solution will come from Moto when the issue is fixed.
Motorola claims the DroidX has 480 minutes talk time and 220 hours standby!

Definitely not since the GB update. Might have been able to get that before if you remove all widgets, syncing/pushing apps, and only turn the screen on to dial a phone number.
On a side note, I broke down and bought the extended battery and I seem to be getting worse battery life now than before Time to exchange it or get my money back.
I am experiencing the same fast drainage and excessive heat. I am more than ready for a fix & root.

Just updated to 2.3.3 today and my battery is doing a lot better than on froyo. im unrooted
I was having a similar issue with the battery draining and the phone feeling warmer that usual after I first updated. I fired up OSMonitor and found that there was a motorola service running nonstop at like 20% CPU usage. Found out it was trying to sync my exchange account but couldn't connect. I manually went in to the mail app and refreshed; it sync'd my account and the problem was solved. Great battery life ever since.
Don't know if this is a similar issue that other people are having, but hopefully it helps someone.
I had the same problem (battery would drain in a few hours and the phone would get very hot) and could not determine the problem.
After a few days I tried the "Droid Factory Reset"
under: Reset instructions for DROID X on 2.3 Gingerbread Android:
motorola-global-portal dot custhelp dot com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48517/~/droid-x---factory-data-reset
It worked. The battery life went back to what it had been before the update, or at least to something similar. Of course, all the data and apps were wiped.... but it was a perfect trade off for having a phone that worked once again.
Just waiting for the Gingerbread OTA Root!
funny, cause when i go through privacy to factory data reset and get all the way to the final button to erase everything...the damn button does nothing. Doesnt work.
it's fine cause i can just boot into android recovery and do it there, but wtf.
this OTA GB has been pretty bad thus far. lots of lost functionality such as extended controls / power control widget, task killer widgets...none of them work.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Too many factors determining battery life like leaving your 3g on, gps, etc,.or apps constanly updating through your network, like background sync and stuff. Even low signal drains battery
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Use spare parts or something and check what is eating your battery first.
Have you been running the same setup, and the problem randomly popped up? Or is it just after flashing your main setup? Also, a lot of apps/settings will drain your battery. First step is to wipe your battery stats, etc. and then check your apps and settings.
I have changed nothing, but going to the ed04 radio. Ed01 was only getting me 5 hours max on a full battery. I have checked everything else.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Use spare parts from the market and also check battery use in about phone under settings. Best way to fix your problem is knowing whats causing it, recalibrating battery helps a lot too. Oh almost forgot , download cpu spy from market,best way to see if your phone is sleeping properly,it should be in deep sleep almost the whole time when phone is not in use.

[Help] Battery problem

My battery is draining too fast after upgrading to android 4.3. Even only on 2g there is 1% decrease in battery almost after every 3 minutes. But with screen off it will remain almost at 99% after even 12 hours or more. But when I start using the phone for something like even navigating through the settings the battery drops 1% every 3 minutes or even less. My handset is about a month old. I am from India and running the ML4 android 4.3 recently released by Samsung. There is no wakelock when the screen is asleep. The phone screen consumes between 60 to 90% of the battery or more. I factory reset it thrice since the update but with no effect. I am running the 4.3 update for about 3 weeks now. I also installed Greenify, battery doctor, juice defender etc to save battery but there is no improvement. I installed the same apps that I installed on the 4.1.2 firmware but the battery is draining quite faster in the 4.3 version. I also freeze almost all bloatware using Titanium backup and even uninstalled some like Google Books etc. but no use. I don't use wifi or wifi hotspot at all. I rarely use bluetooth. GPS, location, etc off. I even freeze Google Play store, Google play services and Google services framework. No multi window, no smart stay, no s voice, no ripple effect, no live wallpaper, etc everything off but still the same. If there is anyone facing this issue and has already found the solution, please help me out.

This is funny! You mean to say that the upgrade to android 4.3 has damaged my battery? The battery is not even 1 month old as I mentioned in the first post. The battery is very good on android 4.1.2...... As I mentioned in the first post, there is no battery drain when the screen is off. Even after 24 hours the battery is 99% from 100% with screen off. Why should I checked for wakelocks when the battery is fine on screen off? I did checked it to be sure but no wakelocks. The battery problem is when I use the phone, the battery is draining abnormally when the phone is used. Anyway thanks for your reply.

Using BetterBatteryStats will nevertheless help you to find out which process is consuming your battery…
Yes, 4.3 upgrade downgraded my battery life about 20% when I am using my phone. On idle it is better about 10-20% also compared with 4.1.2. It is useless to do factory resets or other nonsense. Just it is as is.

I installed the same apps that I installed on the 4.1.2 firmware but the battery is draining quite faster in the 4.3 version. I also freeze almost all bloatware using Titanium backup and even uninstalled some like Google Books etc. but no use. I don't use wifi or wifi hotspot at all. I rarely use bluetooth. GPS, location, etc off. I even freeze Google Play store, Google play services and Google services framework. No multi window, no smart stay, no s voice, no ripple effect, no live wallpaper, etc everything off but still the same. If there is anyone facing this issue and has already found the solution, please help me out.

Okey So Firstly I rule Out Few Assumptions Made By Some Members(No Offense):
1) As thadoukuki said battery Drains only while using the phone and not wen its idle that means its not a wakelock for sure.
2)Secondly as the handset n battery ofcourse, are just a month old i dont even assume it to be damaged(Trust Sammy)
3)Thirdly 1% / 3Mins is quite normal on extensive Usage but as you say its just while navigating around settings etc. den i assume its a bit high.
4) Now betterbatterystats is good to identify what consumes your battery but ive never been a fan of that actually.
SO according to me try to do some trial n error work .
Instead of Freezing apps through TB u can use Greenify Donate to greenify system apps and user apps as well. It Does same job as TB freeze but without that extra hassle.
Secondly Choose a kernel that you think is battery friendly for you like the one which gives you peace of mind(Oh Yeah Battery's Draining Slow!!)
for me i'd go for Boeffla or Googymax
Choose a battery friendly Governer for ur CPU(For me Boeffla kernel with Archi_ultra_power_save governer gives great results)
Check if CPU Touch boost is Enabled in Kernel Settings coz Touch Boost gave me good performance and responsiveness but even i had observed that battery used to drain faster with it.
Battery friendly Rom with few Tweaks by xda members is always better for me over Stock( ArchiDroid Is the Rom ive ever Used){Personal Opinion}
Ppl Say undervolting helps .....hmm maybe ive never Done it but as you are very cautious about battery you may try it (on your own Risk)
Lets see if that Helps
And Lastly i never Observed much Change in Battery drain pattern wen Coming from 4.1.2 to 4.3 so thats not really true.
